He said that most of these social media users don’t follow him on any of the websites and yet are keeping a tab on his activities, which he rather took it positively. However, he shared a few memes and posts shared do hurt him. He said, “If he is not following me, then how will he troll? That means he has eyes on me, nice. I feel like trolling is not a good thing, but it is not such a bad thing either.” He added, “If people make memes on me, I see them as well. I sometimes get hurt.”

Mohammed Kaif, former DC assistant coach recently speaking to JioCinema said it was “shameful” that Shaw didn’t get picked at the auction and urged him to go back to focus on domestic cricket in a bid to earn his reputation back.
